Colours and flowers inspire me...

“I have always loved drawing and painting and I prefer to paint flowers – any flowers! My paintings come from the heart and my style is expressive, never precise or rigid. I try to capture on canvas that feeling that I get when I see something real, something beautiful. My paintings depict beauty, colour, movement and authenticity. I think these things are best sought and found in nature. “

Olfien decided to take up painting again in 2018, at the age of 80 and after not painting at all during the previous 20 years. She is doing this with limited eyesight, having fallen victim to severe macular degeneration.
